She is a venezuelan artist specializing in tropical sceneries and portraits, using different mediums and producing tri-dimensional effects with different materials.
Her work has earned already 6 awards and mentions in mixed media, oils and acrylics.
May 11th 2002, she got first place at the Lynn Gallery with her mixed media "Red Wood Train" at the Rail Road Show.
She also have participated in several art shows and festival locally and in her birth country.
She studied Graphic Design and Art in Caracas, Venezuela at the School of Industrial Design.
Currently she is experimenting with other newer medias like water soluble oils and art and crafts projects, in order to expand more her knowledge on other related art fields.
I hope that with my art form of self expression people can enjoy looking at the beautiful aspects of life. In all my paintings I like to use vibrant colors, tropical colors, which I thinks bring optimism and a positive view in the eyes of the public. I paint when I am in a good mood. Never depressed.
I like doing different themes, sometimes I do more tropical, other times I do still life, and I go through stages. Right now, I am making more portraits and art and crafts.
The medium I like is acrylic but lately I am beginning to like water soluble oils.
